Hybrid Tomato Variety &#39;H1902&#39;

ABSTRACT

Hybrid tomato variety ‘H1902’ is described. The tomato variety is a ground-culture hybrid processing tomato variety suitable for machine harvest and is adaptable to the climactic conditions of regions such as California, USA, Spain, and Brazil. It is a second early variety with resistance to  Fusarium  wilt races 1, 2, and 3 plus tomato spotted wilt virus.

FIELD

This disclosure relates to the field of plant breeding. In particular, this disclosure relates to a new variety of tomato, Solanum lycopersicum variety denominated ‘H1902’.

BACKGROUND

Breeding improved tomato varieties involves providing genetics that give an advantage to the grower, processor, consumer, or other members of the supply chain. The improvement may be in the form of field performance, disease resistance, factory performance, or a fruit quality characteristic. For a tomato variety to be suitable to be grown for processing, the variety must have a concentrated fruit setting and maturity, firm fruit, and sufficient rot tolerance to allow early fruit to remain rot-free while later fruit continues to develop and ripen.

Most tomato varieties for commercial processing are hybrids resulting from a cross pollination of two true-breeding, inbred parents. Through the use of true-breeding lines, a hybrid is produced that often displays characteristics of each parent, and often demonstrates characteristics that are superior to either parent alone, or that allow a hybrid to mask inadequacies of the individual parents.

Processing tomato varieties combining resistance to Verticillium wilt race 1 (Verticillium dahlia), Fusarium wilt races 1 and 2 (Fusarium oxysporum pv lycopersici), bacterial speck race 0 (Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato), and root knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) are highly desirable in most climates around the world. Moreover, in regions such as California, the industry has seen a considerable increase in pressure from tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) and Fusarium wilt race 3. Thus, varieties with resistance to these diseases are in high demand by both growers and processors to ensure a productive crop cycle.

Processing tomato quality parameters differ from those of fruit used in the fresh market. The processing characteristics are typically determined using a sample of hot-break tomato pulp or juice produced in a consistent manner to those familiar with the art. For example, a fixed mass of tomatoes may be cooked in a microwave oven for several minutes to halt any enzymatic breakdown of the sample, lost water is replaced, and the sample is pulped to remove skins and seed to produce a uniform juice sample. The juice sample can be analyzed for various quality parameters important to processing tomato including but not limited to gross viscosity measures such as juice Bostwick, soluble solids measures using a refractometer (°Brix), measures of acidity and pH, and measures of color (e.g., a Hunter a/b score). The value of these traits depends on the product that is being commercially produced by the processing factory. In some instances, a factory will put a higher value on a thick viscosity variety, whereas in other instances, a thin viscosity will make a superior product and is preferred.

SUMMARY

Provided herein is a new and distinct tomato variety named ‘H1902’ that produces good field yields of medium uniform fruit and is best adapted to arid climates, such as California and Spain, it should also perform reasonably well in more humid environments such as the Midwestern US and Brazil. The adaptability of ‘H1902’ is enhanced by a relatively short plant cycle, enabling production in growing regions with shorter seasons. The variety ‘H1902’ has resistance to Verticillium wilt race 1, three known races of Fusarium wilt, root knot nematode, and tomato spotted wilt virus. ‘H1902 has also demonstrated a modest level of resistance to bacterial canker. The fruit of ‘H1902’ have good red color and an average fruit weight of 70 grams. ‘H1902’ presents an advantage over California industry standard varieties such as H1015 in that it is resistant to race 3 of Fusarium wilt and to tomato spotted wilt virus, both have become major production limitations in the state. Tolerance to fruit rot in ‘H1902’ is very good, allowing for once-over machine harvesting applications requiring extended field holding.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Described herein is the new and distinct tomato variety named ‘H1902’ that was developed to provide a ground-culture hybrid tomato variety (i.e., not grown on stakes) that is suitable for machine harvest, and are adaptable to the climactic conditions of regions such as California, USA, and Spain.

Processing tomato varieties combining resistance to Verticillium wilt race 1 (Verticillium dahlia), Fusarium wilt race 1 and 2 (Fusarium oxysporum pv. lycopersici), root knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita), and tomato spotted wilt virus are highly desirable in most climates around the world. In California, varieties with resistance to Fusarium wilt race 3 and tolerance to ripe fruit rots (extended field storage) are also particularly desirable because they are conducive to once-over machine harvesting, particularly in regions where rain can occur during harvest or there are delays in a harvesting schedule.

Tomato plants of ‘H1902’ are resistant to Verticillium wilt race 1, three known races of Fusarium wilt, root knot nematode, and tomato spotted wilt virus. Plants are dark green in color with an open, somewhat floppy habit as compared to tomato varieties of the same market class. Fruit of ‘H1902’ are firm, very smooth, and medium in size (70 grams). Both internal and external color are good. Fruit are also considered to have an extended field storage, which delays the onset of fruit rots after reaching red ripe maturity.

Stability of Variety ‘H1902’

The variety is uniform and stable within commercially acceptable limits. As is true with other tomato varieties, a small percentage of variants can occur within commercially acceptable limits for almost any characteristic during the course of repeated multiplication. However, no variants were observed during the three years in which the variety was observed to be uniform and stable.

Comparison of ‘H1902’ to Closest Varieties

Data in Table 1 is based primarily upon trials conducted in Collegeville, Calif. from two replications, non-staked, in a research plot environment. Data in Tables 3 and 4 are based upon observations made in trials throughout California and Ontario, Canada. Comparisons among varieties for processing traits (Table 2) were done over two years of side-by side testing throughout California. Disease resistance and adaptability assessments are based upon DNA markers associated with the disease resistance when available or numerous observations collected in regions/climates with specific disease pressure, specifically for ripe fruit rots, bacterial spot, bacterial canker, early blight, and late blight, including Ontario, Canada.

Several characteristics can distinguish ‘H1902’ from the similar commercial variety ‘H1015’. While both varieties have similarly early crop maturity, ‘H1902’ has slightly smaller fruit that are longer (more oval) than those of ‘H1015’. ‘H1902’ carries resistance to Fusarium oxysporum race 3 and tomato spotted wilt virus, to which ‘H1015’ is susceptible. The plant size of ‘H1902’ is of a similar size to ‘H1015’ yet its foliage coverage is less. Both varieties would be considered as carrying the trait of extended field holding or storage which provides for reduced fruit rotting in the field prior to harvest. Processing characteristics of the fruit is similar among the 2 varieties.

Further Embodiments

Additional methods provided herein include, without limitation, chasing selfs. Chasing selfs involves identifying inbred plants among tomato plants that have been grown from hybrid tomato seed. Once the seed is planted, the inbred plants may be identified and selected due to their decreased vigor relative to the hybrid plants that grow from the hybrid seed. By locating the inbred plants, isolating them from the rest of the plants, and self-pollinating them (i.e., “chasing selfs”), a breeder can obtain an inbred line that is identical to an inbred parent used to produce the hybrid. Accordingly, another aspect of the disclosure relates a method for producing an inbred tomato variety by: planting seed of the tomato variety ‘H1902’; growing plants from the seed; identifying one or more inbred tomato plants; controlling pollination in a manner which preserves homozygosity of the one or more inbred plants; and harvesting resultant seed from the one or more inbred plants. The step of identifying the one or more inbred tomato plants may further include identifying plants with decreased vigor, i.e., plants that appear less robust than plants of the tomato variety ‘H1902’. Tomato plants capable of expressing substantially all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of the parental inbred lines of tomato variety ‘H1902’ include tomato plants obtained by chasing selfs from seed of tomato variety ‘H1902’.

One of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that once a breeder has obtained inbred tomato plants by chasing selfs from seed of tomato variety ‘H1902’, the breeder can then produce new inbred plants such as by sib-pollinating, or by crossing one of the identified inbred tomato plant with a plant of the tomato variety ‘H1902’.

The disclosure further includes introducing one or more desired traits into the tomato variety ‘H1902’. For example, the desired trait may include male sterility, male fertility, herbicide resistance, insect resistance, disease resistance, and drought resistance.

The desired trait may be found on a single gene or combination of genes. The desired trait may be a genetic locus that is a dominant or recessive allele. The genetic locus may be a naturally occurring tomato gene introduced into the genome of a parent of the variety by backcrossing, a natural or induced mutation, or a transgene introduced through genetic transformation techniques. For a genetic locus introduced through transformation, the genetic locus may comprise one or more transgenes integrated at a single chromosomal location. Accordingly, the disclosure provides tomato plants or parts thereof that have been transformed with one or more transgenes (i.e., a genetic locus comprising a sequence introduced into the genome of a tomato plant by transformation) to provide a desired trait. In one aspect, the one or more transgenes are operably linked to at least one regulatory element. In one aspect, the tomato plant or plant part comprising a transgene has all the physiological and morphological characteristics of tomato variety ‘H1902’.

The gene(s) may be introduced to tomato variety ‘H1902’ through a variety of well-known techniques, including for example, molecular biological, other genetic engineering, or plant breeding techniques, such as recurrent selection, backcrossing, pedigree breeding, molecular marker (Isozyme Electrophoresis, Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms (RFLPs), Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNAs (RAPDs), Arbitrarily Primed Polymerase Chain Reaction (AP-PCR), DNA Amplification Fingerprinting (DAF), Sequence Characterized Amplified Regions (SCARs), Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphisms (AFLPs), and Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) (also referred to as Microsatellites)), enhanced selection, genetic marker enhanced selection, and transformation. Accordingly, tomato seed, plants, and parts thereof produced by such genetic engineering or plant breed techniques are also part of the present disclosure.

Also provided herein are single locus converted plants and seeds developed by backcrossing wherein essentially all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of an inbred are recovered in addition to the characteristics conferred by the single locus transferred into the inbred via the backcrossing technique. A single locus may comprise one gene, or in the case of transgenic plants, one or more transgenes integrated into the host genome at a single site (locus). One or more locus conversion traits may be introduced into a single tomato variety. In one aspect, the tomato plant or tomato plant part comprising a single locus conversion has all the physiological and morphological characteristics of tomato variety ‘H1902’.
